摘要: |
This report discusses the August 13, 2014, accident in which a tow involving the vessel Cory Michael and a crane barge struck the raised lift span of the Florida Avenue Bridge in New Orleans, Louisiana. The crane boom, which was transported in an unsupported manner over the vessel’s upper wheelhouse, fell down, crushing the wheelhouse and fatally injuring the captain. The report identifies the following safety issues: inadequate oversight of bridge and towing vessel operations, and inadequate and complacent safety management practices. As a result of this investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes new safety recommendations to the US Coast Guard, the Port of New Orleans, Boh Bros. Construction, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. |
